The Prince Rupert Port Authority recently announced that they had installed new technology in order to help protect the whales swimming in the waters near Prince Rupert.
The PRPA and their partners have put an innovative camera called WhaleSpotter at the Prince Rupert Grain Terminal.
The camera operates on an AI powered detection system and it can detect a whale from up to 7 km away in all weather conditions.
And whenever a whale is detected, a real time alert will be sent to all the nearby boat operators, so they can properly avoid them.
